Includes growing and shaping my.SIOP – developing new tools and features.

Comment by Chair:

The 2012-13 ECC is comprised of academics and practitioners who are intrinsically motivated to build community and develop online collaboration among SIOP members. New members to the committee each bring their own bacgrounds in online I/O community-building, social media research, branding, and/or user interface design. The Committee has developed and prioritized a list of initiatives in each of these categories:

Assist and Collaborate with SIOP Board & Committees

Marketing & Engagement

Expanding my.SIOP with New Innovations & Utility

Centralizing SIOP social media and knowledge management using my.SIOP as a central online platform

Monitoring Member Activity

Measuring Success

Given the natural evolution of social media and electronic community interfaces over time, the Committee will adapt specific methods as needed to accomplish the goals above. The ECC will grow over the next two years and will embrace sub-committees (TBD) in response to increased demands to support SIOP Membership, Executive Board, and Committee Chairs. In the interim, ECC members have been assigned tasks in alignment with their interests and progress toward these initiatives is underway.
